What ships

Artifact Library.

The work is only useful if something ships.

Strategy decks gather dust. Artifacts get used. Every engagement here resolves into something concrete — an ICP map, a RACI, an output policy, an incrementality model — that a named role picks up and uses to make one specific decision. This is the catalogue of artifact types the work produces, mapped to the decision each one unblocks.

Signal containerization artifacts

How it works

How artifacts map to services

Artifacts are not a menu you order from. They are the natural output of an engagement — the diagnostic produces a read, an audit produces a plan, a sprint produces pipeline, a retainer produces the operating system. Each shape tends to ship the categories below.

  1. 01

    Self-serve diagnostic — scores the six paths and routes to the right next step.

    • A readiness read
    • A recommended path
  2. 02

    2–3 week diagnostic across seven lenses into a 90-day plan.

  3. 03

    6–8 week execution sprint — pipeline, partner co-sell, pricing tests.

  4. 04

    3, 6, or 12 months of senior operator partnership on a weekly cadence.

Make something ship

If you can name the decision that is stalling, you can name the artifact that unblocks it. Scope the set that fits your problem — or start with the scorecard if you're not sure which one.
